Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260606-1AD27-2147317769. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Kidde KN- COPE- IC (Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm). Incident: My Kidde smoke and carbon monoxide alarm failed on. It sounded for about 20 minutes and then stopped. About 10 minutes later it sounded again for about 40 minutes and then stopped. After about 10 minutes of silence, it started up again and stayed on. I verified multiple times that there was no smoke or fire in the house. Since I had multiple smoke detectors daisychained, I disabled the batteries first and then one by one I disconnected the smoke detectors from my power supply until I found a failed unit. I verified this by plugging the other units back in with no issue. I took the failed unit and pushed the battery door closed and within 30 seconds it began sounding the alarm. This model number is KN COPE IC with a manufactured date of January 12 of 2023 and installation date of May 27, 2023 est. The battery is a Gold Peak alkaline whats the name Kidde. I checked the battery voltage and it measured 9.51 VDC.O
